A memory device for ensuring efficient access and reduction in current
consumption. The memory device includes a plurality of memory cells
arranged in accordance with a first address and a second address which
define a logical address map indicating a logical shape of the memory
array. An address map changing unit is operatively coupled to the memory
array, for receiving a first address signal for generating the first
address and a second address signal for generating the second address.
The address map changing unit is capable of changing the logical address
map by altering a part of one of the first address signal and the second
address signal.
